#HackThePlanet Turn On, Boot Up, Trip Out!

About the App

The ‘Google Cardboard” Viewer and #HackThePlanet App open a VR portal into an immersive cyberdelic parallel universe inspired by the Anniversary’s of cyberpunk composer Simon Boswell (Ashens & The Quest For The Game Child, Burn:Cycle, Drug Bust Doody) and the geek cult classic ‘Hackers’. The cyber flick that blazed the way for Hipsters, YouTube, EDM, Memes & Global Hacking.

Experience for the first time the exclusive in App #HackThePlanet Lo-Fi and dirty redux track by ‘Revenge of Calculon’ & ‘Simon Boswell’. This electro mind-melting experience uses early experimental samples and code, that never made it into Simon’s ‘Hackers’ EDM soundtrack, and recently discovered on a yellow PsychFi floppy disc.

A fun, affordable viewer that hacks your smartphone into a powerful VR headset.

Buzz – #HackThePlanet & Hackers 20th Anniversary:

"Ian Softley’s cult classic is a faultless exploration of myriad punk elements. It tackles contemporary consumer culture and inspires looks for days, underpinned by a pioneering electronic soundtrack along the way."

Dazed Digital

"Accompanied by the trippy music of Simon Boswell, composer of film soundtrack such as Shallow Grave and Hackers. Simon is in room as a panellist on Raindance Presents Screenage Hacks - From Indiegogo to Google Cardboard. Clearly enjoying the surreal sight of delegates spaced out on this head lo-fi/hi-tech mix.”

XpoNorth

“You many not know his name, but if you’re a movie fan you’ll certainly know his music: Simon Boswell is one of the UK’s finest living soundtrack composers, whose work has graced films such as Danny Boyle’s debut ‘Shallow Grave’, Alejandro Jodorowsky’s mind-melting ‘Santa Sangre’, loopy Angelina Jolie cybercrime flick ‘Hackers’.”

Now. Here. This., Time Out London

"Hackers is a perfect example of this phenomenon. It was made at a time when the idea of “hacking” and underground tech culture was a brand new thing, or at least still in its infancy, but it was because of this film that a lot of that subculture grew the way it did. Also, the fashion. WOW."

NERDIST

"Incredibly it is 20 years since the release of one of my favourite films - Hackers. Here I talk to its director Iain Softley about how this pop culture gem has gained in reputation over the years."
